Thames Matter - Trail

Thames Matter is a collection of miniature pots, created using materials collected along the River Thames. The purpose behind this collection is to allow you to hold a piece of the Thames in your hands, creating a connection to a location through touch. Each piece reflects the tones, textures and tactile qualities of the River Thames. Added details are individual, reflecting what I documented, learnt and found on my journeys Mudlarking the Thames. 

The form of the piece, titled Trail, has been inspired by a Roman Pot which was unearthed along the Thames. The glistening marks reflect the varied turns, twists and trails of discarded fabric which can be spotted at low tide. They discolour, gather mud and become tangled and ripped. At low tide these become a webbed mess along the shore, weaving together, forming patterns on the ground, noticeable, yet almost part of the landscape. 

Each piece from this collection is between 30-70mm in height. Prices vary depending on size. Comes in a small eco friendly hemp sack.
